Located in Florida

I am a dual-enrolled highschool student interested in mechanistic interpretability, non-euclidean geometry, and mid-century graphic design. I volunteer doing neuroscience research and oceanographic research, but in my free time I like to make art, music, and code websites like this one.

code

...
Calclynx

An infinite LaTeX whiteboard for math notetaking. Winner of the 2025 Congressional App Challenge.

...
Mathematix

A visual node-based graphing calculator. Won 1st place in the 2024 QuBitX Hackathon.

...
Clevulator

A 3D videogame of my history teacher. Used Scaniverse to create 3D scans and Mixamo to rig armatures.

Bakify

A site used to identify and replace the 108 banned "neverwords" in Mrs. Baker's class.

Aldental

Co-developed and pitched a dental scanner. National finalist at the 2025 E-Fest Entrepreneurship Competition.

LLM Undetection

Recieved a $1,200 grant from FAU's OURI; led a team of six to programatically obfuscate LLM-generated text using stylometric analysis.


work

Max Planck

June 2025—Present

At the Max Planck Florida Institute For Neuroscience, I work in the Tian Lab, using generalized linear models (GLMs), long-short term memory (LSTM), and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to quantify relationships between fiber-photometry-recorded serotonin (5-HT) measurements and fear responses in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). I am currently developing tools to automate behavioral analysis and reproject animal movement.


Harbor Branch

June 2024—Present

In the Geochemical Remote Sensing Lab at the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, I develop machine learning approaches to quantify sediment-derrived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) using remote sensing (RS). We use colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) to locate DOC, and use features such as Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and sea surface temperature (SST) to distinguish its source.


URIKA [bioworks]

June 2024—November 2024

I invented AWS Neptune's first data processing pipeline for NLP-derived biomedical relational databases using Python, Bash, and SPARQL. This was contrary to the conventional use of Neo4j and Google Cloud, and I drafted the AWS whitepaper for the project.


photography



Why are the pictures half-toned?

Essentially, it's to prevent my work from getting stolen or trained on. It also looks very cool and fits the theme of the website.


shenanigan affiliates

Cool people that I make stuff and am in high school with

Alex

completely stacked and insanely op at coding

clocked in low level programming and high level trolling

Eoghan

also extremely OP at coding

Daniel

pure math major, and also my day one

George

fellow dev and makes cool stuff


100% human-made. everything invented by me, except the vortex picture.
